Dossier submitted! Awaiting our Travel Date.
(Update 9/17/10: Today we received official confirmation from CWA – our dossier was in fact registered yesterday with the SDA in Ukraine!) I suppose it’s safe to say our dossier was submitted today! No official word from anyone, but today was the date. We’ve known for six months that today would be our submission date…

Submission Date draws near; Asking for Prayers.
It’s a Monday evening. I’m sitting back relaxed after a bike ride and nice dinner made by my beautiful wife, with my feet up on the coffee table watching the O’ Reilly Factor while drinking a beer (a seldom treat). It’s a peaceful evening after a long hard day at work. Ah.. this is the…

Exactly one year to the date we signed our first agency agreement, on August 13th, our full completed dossier was translated and UPS’ed over to Ukraine. All that’s left is to wait.

Spring is in bloom… and so is our adoption fundraising!
Hello Friends and Family! This is Lindsey. One of the biggest challenges of our adoption, and one of the reasons most people don’t adopt, is finances. Most international adoptions can cost over $30,000. This is where YOU can make a difference! We have two special fundraisers going on right now and we’d like to ask…

Pre-Registration for Ukraine sent to CWA. Dossier up to bat.
It’s a month later and things have picked up quite a bit with our adoption process. Although, in the last month we did confuse some things that led us to believe we would have this process finalized in the late spring/early summer.

For the first time today, I admit I finally had that feeling that wait a minute.. this adoption might actually happen. This is real, and not just some dream Lindsey and I have thought up. Since our last post on the adoption, we have received all of the required paperwork needed for our Home Study,…

I Thank My God Every Time I Remember You.
I know, I know, I’m a little bit late to be talking about Thanksgiving and things that we can be thankful about. I’m sure that we’ve all gotten our fill of turkey and pumpkin pie and have packed up the fall decorations and have trimmed the Christmas tree already. But, I would like to go…
